Asian Aid

Asian Aid is a non-profit Christian charity organisation that works to provide sponsorship of poverty-stricken children from India, Nepal and Bangladesh. Founded in 1966, Asian Aid is an accredited, supporting ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Based out of Wauchope, New South Wales, Australia, Asian Aid is a signatory of the ACFID code for non-government organisations and has a supporting branch in the USA.


Without hope, what do we have?
There is no future, nothing to look forward to. No reason to wake up in the morning. No reason to plan. No reason to daydream. No reason to care for yourself - or for others. The world is grey.
At Asian Aid, we believe that hope is something everybody has a right to.
Hope can take many forms. Sometimes it's a gentle hand to hold. Sometimes it's a steaming bowl of rice and vegetables. It can be sign language for the voiceless or deaf, or braille for the sightless. Hope can be a warm blanket at night, and sometimes it comes straight out of a school textbook. It can even grow in a vegetable garden.
We believe in God's promise in Jeremiah 29:11. "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"
But we also believe it is our responsibility to spread seeds of hope wherever we can, regardless of race, religion, or gender.
Hope changes lives, and that's why we believe it's the best gift we can give.
